Purpose: Develop a player's ability to time his pass
into the slot zone. Develop a shooter's ability to quickly get the puck and get
the most quality shot off that he can.

Directions: Players are set up in two lines in the quiet
zones. At the directions of the leader the first in line from the left/lower
skates a puck up and around the face off circle then returns through the slot
and shoots on goal. The shooter continues through the slot exiting towards the
bottom of the opposite face off circle and changing to backwards skating as he
passes the right/upper line. The shooter continues around the top of the face
off circle transitioning to forward skating, enters the high slot. The
right/upper first in line makes a zone pass into the slot then skates to the
back of the left/lower line. The shooter gets control of this puck quickly and
shoots on goal. The shooter continues through the slot exiting towards the
bottom of the original face off circle and changing to backwards skating as he
passes the left/lower line. The shooter continues around the top of the face off
circle transitioning to forward skating, enters the high slot. The next shooter
from the lower/left line makes a zone pass into the slot then begins the drill
as a new shooter. The shooter gets control of this puck quickly and shoots on
goal. The shooter continues through the slot exiting the low slot and going to
the back of the right/upper line.

Variations: Change the drill to a double pass if the
drill does not move quick enough (cut off the last circle). Important to get as
many repetitions in as possible with the fewest players standing or watching.
